DRAMATIC CHANGE ON FILM: A documentary about climate change, “Chasing Ice,” is being shown at the Cape Ann Community Cinema on Sunday to benefit marine science and environmental programs at Maritime Gloucester.

The film tells the story of one man’s mission to gather undeniable evidence of climate change. Using time-lapse cameras, his videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear.

“Chasing Ice” has been nominated for several independent film festival awards in the documentary and cinematography categories. It was recently awarded best documentary at the 22d annual Awards of the Environmental Media Association.

It will be represented at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony on Feb. 24, as composer J. Ralph’s song “Before My Time,” which plays at the film’s end, was nominated in the original song category.

The screening is at 6 p.m. Tickets are $9.75, $8.25 for students and senior citizens, and can be purchased at the door or in advance at capeanncinema.wordpress.com.
